I Thought Wrong

I thought that I was strong enough
To break down your highest walls
I thought I had it all with you in mind,
But it was taken away from me -

My spirit falls...ahhhhh....
Hear my calls...ahhhhh....
I've lost it all (lost it with a frown)
I let myself down (in a freefall...)
I thought you'd understand my point of view
I thought you knew where I stand - who knew

I thought wrong
I thought wrong
I thought wrong
I thought you were with me all along
I thought wrong
I thought wrong
I thought wrong
I thought you and I belong
Together...forever...
But, I was wrong all along

I thought I had you near my lonely side
Now, come along with ne on ny bumpy, spiralling ride
I thought I had my way with you in heart,
But it was snatched away from me from the start -

My spirit falls...ahhhhh....
Hear my calls...ahhhhh....
I've lost it all (lost it with a frown)
I let myself down (in a freefall...)
I thought you'd understand my point of view
I thought you knew where I stand - who knew

I thought wrong
I thought wrong
I thought wrong
I thought you were with me all along
I thought wrong
I thought wrong
I thought wrong
I thought you and I belong
Together...forever...
But, I was wrong all along

I thought that you believed in me -
Now, I'm falling apart (by the seams)
I can't fly a thousand miles with broken wings and jaded dreams
I thought I had it all with you in my heart (of eloquent sun-beams)

My spirit falls...ahhhhh....
Hear my calls...ahhhhh....
I've lost it all (lost it with a frown)
I let myself down (in a freefall...)
I thought you'd understand my point of view
I thought you knew where I stand - who knew

I thought wrong
I thought wrong
I thought wrong
I thought you were with me all along
I thought wrong
I thought wrong
I thought wrong
I thought you and I belong
Together...forever...
But, I was wrong all along

I'm thinking to myself,
You're not being yourself
I was right...i thought right to my misfortune 
We are polar opposites - you're the miserable moon and I'm the shimmering sun

My spirit falls...ahhhhh....
Hear my calls...ahhhhh....
I've lost it all (lost it with a frown)
I let myself down (in a freefall...)
I thought you'd understand my point of view
I thought you knew where I stand - who knew

I thought wrong
I thought wrong
I thought wrong
I thought you were with me all along
I thought wrong
I thought wrong
I thought wrong
I thought you and I belong
Together...forever...
But, I was wrong all along

My spirit falls...ahhhhh....
Hear my calls...ahhhhh....
I've lost it all (lost it with a frown)
I let myself down (in a freefall...)
I thought you'd understand my point of view
I thought you knew where I stand - who knew

I thought wrong
I thought wrong
I thought wrong
I thought you were with me all along

My spirit falls...ahhhhh....
Hear my calls...ahhhhh....
I've lost it all (lost it with a frown)
I let myself down (in a freefall...)
I thought you'd understand my point of view
I thought you knew where I stand - who knew

Well, heaven knows I thought wrong
